Solve the 4D Rubik's Cube

Solve the 4D Rubik's Cube

Mathologer posted a couple nice videos introducing MagicCube4D, and showing that it is not as scary as people often think when they first see it. I like the call to action to solve it towards the end :)

Burkard Polster, otherwise known on YouTube as the Mathologer just
published two videos on solving MagicCube4D. I worked closely with him on it and think he did an incredible job. Just follow his clear instructions and you too can get yourself listed in the MagicCube4D Hall of Fame. Nothing gives you nerd bragging rights quite like that!

Hyperbolic Hopf Fibrations

Hyperbolic Hopf Fibrations The Hopf Fibration of S^3 is amazing and beautiful.  Rather than describe it here, I'll point you to a lovely online reference with pictures and videos by Niles Johnson. nilesjohnson.net/hopf.html To understand it better (and fibrations in general), I recommend this talk by Niles too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXDQsmL-8Us It turns out there is an analogue of the Hopf fibration for H^3.  In fact, there is not just one "fiberwise homogenous" fibration in the hyperbolic case.  There is a 2-parameter family of them, plus one additional fibration that does not fit the family.  As with S^3, fibers in the H^3 cases are geodesics.  They are ultraparallel in fibrations from the family, and parallel in the exceptional fibration.  I found the following dissertation by Haggai Nuchi a good intro and resource to help think about all this. www.math.upenn.edu/grad/dissertations/NuchiThesis.pdf I'm posting three early pictures of H^3 fibrations below, labeled
